HARRY REID is going BEHIND the WH SOTU Scenes!!!!!!

[julka]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


showing pictures from WH.gov that show the monkey correcting the SPEECH!!!!!!!!!

go man go!

where's that thread here that shows the pictures.

guess what? those pictures are inexplicably NOT AVAILABLE anymore.

[julka]

1. anybody bookmark those links to the WH pix?

the ones that show the monkeyboy in complete charge of the State of the UNION?

they hoist themselves, constantly, on their own petards

[NYC]

2. Are they no longer on the government website?

bpilgrim has them over at Global Free Press, but I don't know exactly where. Go to www.globalfreepress.com

Many of us saved thosed pictures. (I have them, but can't post them for you.)

4. Still up for me

:shrug:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/stateoftheunion/preparation/index.html

[julka]

6. you're right. it came up for me, too

I have Reid on tape, saying it's not available.

will go back and get exact quote.

[Walt Starr]

9. BUAHAHAHAHA, THEY ONLY REMOVED THE LINK!!!

Get my link out to as many locations as possible and keep it from going down the memory hole!

The idiots only removed the link from the web site, not the actual pages!

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Having morans(sic) in the White House makes our job soooooo much easier.

[NYC]

13. Looks like no more slide show.

I saw only still photographs. I bookmarked your link above.

[JohnyCanuck]

8. Still up for me too at www.whithouse.gov n/t

n/t

[displacedtexan]

3. mediawhoresonline.com has the pics

you might have to check the archive, but the pics were recent.

[jackstraw45]

7. Gone

http://www.mediahorse.com/ar071403.htm

They linked to the WH site too.

So funny the WH pulled the pics.

What a banana republic we live in.

[Sagan]

5. ha ha ha ha! classic!

And also classic that they PULLED the PICS!

That should be a story in and of itself! I hope Reid mentions that. It makes the Chimpministration look reallllly bad.

[julka]

11. reid says, QUOTE:

"Is the senator from ND aware that there is a website that the president has? I'm sure that the senator is aware of that, zat right? yeah. Well, I'm aware of the fact that there was a part of that website that's no longer---that you can no longer get to it; and basically, it was behind the scenes--that's what it was entitled. And I hold up in front of the senator now---something that was on the website that you could go to, you can't anymore. It's talking about how the president prepares the SOTU message."

from the tape, almost exactly word for word /\.


Reid then shows the president going over the speech WORD by WORD.
he reads from a screen shot:

"and it says under this (picture), 'working at his desk in the oval office, president bush reviews the SOTU address LINE BY LINE, WORD by WORD'!!!!!!!!"

LINE BY LINE, WORD by WORD!!!!! QUOTE!!

maybe that's what he was talking about.....that particular picture.

he says again that this particular picture was taken off the website.

so that means a picture with the above caption is the one to look for

[Papa]

14. I'd like to see Bush's notes....

The pics at the WH site have descriptions underneath the pics, one of the pics has this quote:

"Sketching notes in the margin of speech drafts, President Bush rewrites portions of the address in the Oval Office Jan. 23, 2003".


I personally would like to see what Bush wrote in the margins next to those "sixteen words".

[dajabr]

10. Still up on Dean's site...

Picture of *'s hands going over speech...

Caption:

"Working at his desk in the Oval Office, President Bush reviews the State of the Union address line-by-line and word-by-word."--Official White House caption.

[foole]

15. WH link

http://www.whitehouse.gov/stateoftheunion/behindthescenes/05.html

[phoebe]

21. ooh the little creep..did you see his cufflinks?? n/t

n/t

[NYC]

23. "W" on the gold cufflinks.

.

[julka]

16. I found eight pictures there......NONE with the "word by word" caption

anybody have it?

[foole]

19. please to be seeing reply 15 above

[NYC]

17. Still photo of "word by word":

I find only 8 still photos on the website.


Bush rewrites portions of the address...Jan. 23


Bush reviews the text with Director of pResidential Speechwriting, Michael Gerson Jan.23

Couldn't find the one that said "word by word", but I will check my copy of the slide show.

[Walt Starr]

18. THIS IS THE ONE THAT'S BEEN PULLED!

Looks like a couple have been pulled to make an even eight for the site.

[Walt Starr]

22. Again, they only removed the link

http://www.whitehouse.gov/stateoftheunion/behindthescenes/05.html

Also, try this one:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/stateoftheunion/behindthescenes/01.html

[Walt Starr]

28. NOBODY NOTICED, SO I WILL SAY IT OUT LOUD!

The picture on Dean's site is from 2002.

[NYC]

20. Direct link to bpilgrim's SOTU pictures.

http://images.globalfreepress.com/index.cgi?mode=album&album=dUbYa/SOTU

This is not in slideshow format, and I can't see the original captions.

I can't check my .swf file of SOTU because I can't open it, but I do have it.

Edit: I found the original captions. There are only 8 photos, and none is captioned "word by word".

[montanacowboy]

24. SOMETHING IMPORTANT

no one seems to have picked up on - when Kofi A. and Chimp were seated at WH and Chimp said "I would not have put that in the speech if I thought it was not credible" or something to that effect - I was floored, he actually said "I" he admitted to editing the speech and NO one picked up on it.

[karlschneider]

26. I noticed it too and mentioned it on a thread yesterday I think it was...

but nobody in the media has said anything that I know of...

[julka]

27. of course not.......that's why when I saw Reid, I put this up

they have NO excuse to ignore it now.

back to the Clinton axiom.......you KNOW what they'd have done with this a few years ago.

that said, remember when WJC lost his teleprompter during a State of union speech, wasn't it? he just winged it, and, IIRC, nobody knew the difference as it unfolded.

isn't that correct?

would you give just about anything to see something like that happen to the monkeyboy?

[julka]

25. here's the picture, captured from Dean's site....so it can't be pulled....

unless Dean pulls it.......so I've got it on HD now, emailing it to some people



"Working at his desk in the Oval Office, President Bush reviews the State of the Union address line-by-line and word-by-word."--Official White House caption.

[Donna Zen]

29. 2002

Is this pix from 2002 or 2003? Uptread is says 2002.

And now for the burning question: Why do even his hands look stupid?

[julka]

good catch, Donna. what're you, a teacher, or what?

picky picky.....but that's almost BETTER!


if somebody shows it/asks about his hands on approach, what are they going to say: he was VERY hands on last year, but not this year, when he was TAKING us to WAR?????????

popcorn!


you going to do anything w/those 4th of July pics, BTW?

[Donna Zen]

34. Pix?

I'm trying and failing...although I've learned a few things.

How about I send them to a pro...like you!

</end off thread comments>

If he was attentive in 2002, is the chimpster still in the loop. One would think the good folks in the heart land could make that logical step in thinking, but don't count on it.

[MUAD_DIB]

30. Not available??

Tooooooooooo late!

That's the beauty of the web Chimpy. You're toast.

[Stephanie]

31. "word by word" is there - it is from 2002, but so what

They'd like us to believe he vets the speech line by line, word by word - FINE. We'll believe that he does that, every time.
